Just a quick update since Hamsterdame, Ash and Scott are all hating this week.... (I kid), yesterday Rachel made her nominations and for the second time Adam and Dominic found themselves up on the block. The difference is that last week Dominic was the target of Jeff and Jordan, this week it is Adam that Rachel and Jeff would like to see leave the house.

Meanwhile Daniele is actually tossing out the idea of going after Jeff and Jordan, saying that if they were to get Jeff out now it would be one less vote against them because she feels if they vote Jeff and Jordan out and into the Jury they will hold a grudge against them and vote for somone else to win. Clearly Daniele is hoping to get Rachel and Brendon to do the dirty work.

Today was the Power of Veto competition, amazingly Jeff and Jordan were selected yet again to play, granted it was in theory a 50-50 chance that they be selected - the other couple being Lawon and Kalia but there has always been people, including house guests that suspect there may be something funny with the 'chips' in the POV bag since they are not allowed to inspect the unseen chips after the names have been selected.

Details have yet to come out of what was involved in the POV competition but we do now know that Brendon won it. Now we will see if Rachel and Brendon decide to keep Adam as their target, redirect their aim on Lawon, or turn the house upside down and put up Jeff and Jordan with the idea of eliminating Jeff and possibly separating Jeff and Jordan for the summer with one in and one out of the Jury House.

Be sure to listen late Saturday night or Sunday for Episode #4 of the Big Brother Gossip Show where we will discuss all this and more. Look for a new post on the site Saturday night!

I was enjoying my post-Breaking Bad high last night when I decided to jump back on Twitter and fire up the live feeds. It's a good thing I did because the drama was in full swing! When I began watching, Jordan was triyng to get Rachel to chill out in the HOH room so I had to backtrack to the beginning of the night's festivities.

The drama began when Cassi asked Rachel if she could talk to her for a few minutes and Rachel agreed. Now you have to remember that the Cassi/Rachel situation has been strained as of late with both girls (and I do mean girls) acting like bitches behind the other's back. You also have to remember that Cassi is stressed out knowing Shelly and herself will be put up on the block with Cassi being the target for eviction. So anyway, the scene is set for a fun time on the live feeds.

Cassi began the conversation by asking Rachel if there's something she's done to her to cause Rachel to act the way she has been. Rachel said she's a sweet and nice girl but that the way Cassi treated Porsche offended Rachel. Cassi said she's talked to Porsche and she doesn't not like her and asked if that was a valid reason to send her home. Rachel said no and that the reason is because Cassi ran around the house campaigning for Brendon/Rachel, Jeff/Jordan, or Daniele to be put on the block.

Cassi said she had a deal with Brendon/Rachel and that it was the others saying that and not her and that she's been nothing but honest in the house. Rachel accused Cassi of not trusting them and Cassi said that she did trust them. Then Rachel really gets her dig in at Cassi telling her that she doesn't have good gameplay and goes around the house complaining all the time. Cassi responded with, "What am I? 12?" and Rachel told her she kinda acts like it. Meow!

More talk about Porsche and then Rachel accused Cassi of only talking to Jordan after she became HOH and Rachel told her again that was bad gameplay. Cassi told Rachel she thinks Rachel wants her gone because she's a female and Rachel denies it. Rachel asked who said that and Cassi told her that was the word on the street. Haha! Rachel told Cassi that she just insulted her with that comment. Cassi says that she knows she's leaving and didn't call her in to fight with her and only wanted to talk.

Rachel told Cassi she was playing the victim and then Cassi really got pissed off. Cassi then told Rachel that she is really catty. Getting up, Cassi told Rachel that she was a fan of hers last season and was really pulling for her but that after being in the house with her she gets it. Walking off, Cassi called Rachel catty again and told her she's an ugly person inside.

End scene!

After a quick consultation with Daniele and a short shower, Rachel goes and gets Jordan from the backyard to talk to her in the HOH room. As soon as Jordan asks her what's wrong Rachel breaks into tears and says that Cassi is so mean to her. Rachel tells Jordan that Cassi called her catty, told her she doesn't like girls, and then for the cherry on top, told her that she was pulling for her last season but now understands why people hated her. Jordan then lays it all out for her with a warning that she was going to be honest with her.

Jordan said that some of the things that Rachel does come across as really bitchy. She used examples of Rachel telling the newbs to deal with Porsche being here for another three weeks so deal with it. Rachel defended herself by saying she was defending a friend but then Jordan said that people don't really like Porsche and people don't like that she's Rachel's "butt buddy". Jordan then used an example of Rachel's outbursts in the competition and the little smart aleck things she says in the house.

Jordan's a nice girl and did a great job trying to explain to Rachel how it would be best for her to knock the attitude down a few notches. Rachel didn't seem to understand though because she kept going back to the whole 'Cassi wants to backdoor us' (really meaning her and Brendon). Jordan kept on and on and told Rachel she understands she's a competitive person but that she needs to bite her tongue instead of acting like a selfish, crazed lunatic with diarrhea of the mouth. Those are my words and not Jordan's by the way!

Rachel continues to defend defend defend. Jordan continues to tell her she comes across as bitchy and that she needs to get it together and control her mouth because Cassi will be the one going home on Thursday. Jeff eventually came upstairs to use the bathroom and basically ran out of there as soon as he could to get away from Rachel's estrogen (but he was nice enough to bring Rachel some water).

Eventually Brendon came upstairs and stumbled upon the events of the evening involving his fiancee. He commenced his interrogation and Rachel rehashed the conversation with Cassi and then Brendon told her not to worry about things and to stay away from Cassi and then Rachel agrees and then Brendon told her to take a time-out and control her emotions and then Rachel agrees and then Brendon tells her this season isn't like last season and then Rachel agrees and then Brendon tells her she's crying over spilled milk and then Rachel agrees and then.... Argh!

By the way, if you want to watch this drama for yourselves just flashback to Sunday, July 17 at 8:25 PM on Feeds 1/2.

So what's your take on all of this? Who's the cattier girl? Cassi or Rachel? How much of this do you think will make it on the show - if any? Let me know in the comments!

During her ten-hour sleep, a little flash of sense must have entered Cassi's brain as she finally understands that her demise is eminent. She's currently talking to Adam (maybe not the smartest move) about how he can't trust any of the snakes in the house. Yet she still hasn't realized that her own partner, Shelly, has sold her out...and says she won't campaign against her!

The entire scenario is ridiculous. Jeff and Jordan like both Shelly and Cassi, have no opinons on Kalia and Lawon, and have grown to secretly detest Brendon and Rachel? Why are they catering to the jealousy-inspired wishes of a person they don't like?

Otherwise, this is a boring day. The POV meeting is being delayed until tomorrow, so it's nothing but small talk and sunbathing. Speaking of which, here's a couple of pics.

After stewing on it for a bit, Cassi greabbed Jordan to have a talk in the HOH. Somehow Shelly noticed and followed them up. This turned what could have been a great conversation into an embarasing performance by Jordan. She claimed that at this point in the game she has to do what the rest of her alliance wants, even though she likes Cassi. Asking what she has done wrong, Jordan tried to say it was because she's a tough player. "Bullshit", she replied. "They want me out because they're girls."

Somebody’s dream is about to be squashed tonight, and I couldn’t be happier. On the one hand you have Keith, failed star of dating shows whose plan of creating “Keith’s Girls” was extinguished moments after entering the house. On the other hand you have Porsche, whose reasoning for being on the show has nothing to do with prize money and all to do with this idiotic fantasy of having a film crew documenting her post-Big Brother life.

Truthfully, I could care less who heads home tonight, but it’s safe to say that we’ll NEVER hear from the evictee again. Keith will go back home and stammer out sermons in between chasing local girls with little self-esteem. Porsche’s future is destined to remain at that (non)-exclusive nightclub, where she’ll serve overpriced foo-foo drinks until a businessman twice her age makes her his second (or third) wife. What’s the future of the person who survives the evening? Look for them to be the first evictee after the Golden Key is turned in.

Before we get to that fantasy-extinguishing moment, we have to sit through a few minutes of filler, including a segment or two to make it look like either of them have a 50/50 shot of staying. After a overly-long intro and an intro by Julie, we get the expected reactions to Rachel’s decision to not use the veto. Nothing that’s said is worth repeating, except Porsche’s claim that she’s a strong competitor. Yeah, right.

Porsche and Keith have a conversation, and Keith is suddenly sweet-talking the twit. Porsche is having none of it, though. “You can tell Keith is lying when his lips are moving.” Oh snap! She lets him know that she’s prepared to handle anything that he tells the others.

We jump into the have/not room, and Dom says that he wants Porsche gone. Cassi wastes no time in agreeing, and Lawon says it also sounds cool to him. “They (vets) see Porsche as this weak twit”, Cassi says. In the diary room, Cassi admits that Keith has played a terrible game, but he’s a better choice to stay than Porsche.

The vets don’t agree, though. In the HOH, Rachel is saying that Keith has to go. They’ve finally realized that the numbers game doesn’t work for them, and Jeff thinks they need to go after Adam or Cassi’s vote. Working on that goal, the vets decide to socialize with the noobs. Oh God, I have to hear Rachel’s “Big Booty” bullshit again. For some reason, we also have to endure “Vegas Rachel” as she does some awful booty dancing, accompanied by a drum circle performed by the rest of the house.

Dominic is actually showing some smart, though, as he’s not buying the suddenly nice side that’s being shown by Rachel and the rest of the vets. “What are you trying to do? How are you trying to manipulate me, and what are you trying to get out of me?”

Ok, this segment goes on a bit too long, as Rachel starts calling Brendon “Bootie”. Brendon says that’s an affectionate name she has for him, but he doesn’t like the rest of the house knowing that. He calls her over, and after saying in the diary room that she’s no longer “a Vegas party girl”, he starts complaining to her for revealing that dumb name. Hell, it’s better than “Ashy Penis”. Ugh, he calls it “protecting Rachel”.

WTF? This is the most sanitized version of a fight I’ve ever seen, as the piano music jumps in as Rachel says “I love you” over and over. Finally, he starts whining, and it’s nothing like how it actually happened as they accentuate his “I love you” comments over his more hateful lines. He finally turns off the light to go to bed, saying he doesn’t care if she doesn’t sleep with him.

After a commercial break, we get part two of the romanticized version of Rachel fighting with Brendon. She complains about him being mean to her, and as always she apologizes over and over. He continues to whine, and finally snarkily says he accepts it. “You have a hot, beautiful fiancé who is in love with you…who is smart. Who calls you ‘bookie’. Is that the worst of your problems?” Wait, does Brendon have another fiancé. Hey CBS, tone down the acoustic guitars, and get rid of the anthemic crescendo when they make up. My God, this is the fucking worst segment in Big Brother history!

Back in love, Brendon decides to go to Shelly for a vote. Yeah, she’s an easy mark, saying its “awesome” to work with her beloved vets. Jeff says that he now has to go talk to Adam because he was a person Dick brought into the group. Jeff’s great idea is to have Adam name their alliance. Really? He comes up with nothing except “Adam’s Angels”. Ugh.

Now we’re back outside, and Cassi tells Shelly and Kalia that they have nothing to gain by booting Keith. Kalia doesn’t want to “rock the vote”, though, and Shelly is just confused because she’s playing both sides. She wants to know what she has to gain by keeping him, completely ignoring the numbers game. Cassi then moves on to Adam, who says he hasn’t promised his vote to anybody. In the diary room, Adam claims that this vote says whether you’re with the noobs or veterans. Um, Adam, you’re a noob. Think about it.

With another set of commercials down the drain, it’s time for Julie to ask dumb questions to the house. Oh wait, this could actually be good, as Julie has a message from Evel Dick. He says he’s alright, as is his girlfriend and family. He loves the game, and would have never left the house if there wasn’t an emergency. He apologizes to Daniele, saying they “get along the best when we’re on Big Brother playing together”. She doesn’t seem to be too interested, though. He then tells the rest of the house that he will be watching, and wants good gameplay, strategy, and fights. He ends with saying he misses most of them.

Julie then goes to Daniele and asks if she has something to say to him, and she has really little to say except that it is tougher since it is more than just gameplay. Julie presses for her to say “I love you”, but that’s too “awkward” for Daniele. Hmmm.

We then get to see clips of the have/have not competition, including Keith dry-humping the other boys. Yes, that’s actually pretty funny. Dominic is asked if it was worth it to have Keith on top of him. His answer is yes. Adam is then asked what it’s like to play with the vets, and once again his answer is not worth repeating.

Keith then gets to plead his case, and he starts by saying that Porsche “rocks”. Wait, what? He then adds the three things that are needed to make it through the house – have fun, never take things personally, and remember that it’s only a game. Porsche says thanks to everybody, and not much else.

It’s now time for the voting. Dominic is first, and votes to evict Porsche. Brendon votes to evict Keith, as does Jordan. Cassi, however, votes to evict Porsche. It’s tied as we go to commercials.

Lawon is the first to vote when we return, and his vote is against Porsche. It’s Jeff’s turn, and yes, he votes to evict Keith, as does Daniele (after saying she does love her father). Adam then comes in, and his vote is against Porsche. Kalia’s vote is against Keith, as does Shelly. Yes, this went as expected.

Julie announces that Keith has been evicted, and he’s all smiles as he hugs everybody. After watching the house mill around for a few seconds, Julie then begins by asking how shocked he was at being evicted. “Very shocked”, he replies. He does say that he would have done a few things different, and Julie adds that he wasn’t very smart in throwing the POV while on the block. She then asks what went wrong with his choice of Porsche as a partner. He does make sense here, though, saying that she broke their plan on all the noobs sticking together. Keith also says that the game is harder than he expected, and continues on with saying that falling for Porsche, who is hot, would have messed up his game even worse.

It’s time for the goodbye messages, and Cassi says he acted like he was on the “Dating Game”. Lawon says he acted like a “fool…BOOM!” Ugh, Rachel claims he underestimated “the power of Hurricane Brenchel. We flipped the script on you, and used all of your noobies against you!” Porsche ends the segment by whining about playing her, and points to her “you can look but you can’t touch” shirt. She really is a mini-Rachel.

With Keith gone, we can move on to the HOH competition. Those of us who watched the feeds the last couple of days have seen them practicing their golf game, and that’s exactly what they’re playing tonight. They have to hit their ball around a sand trap, with the winner the closest to a “hole in one”.

Rachel was allowed to choose the play order, and Dom’s the first shot. He hits a six, and Adam’s lands in the eight. Cassi’s shot goes too far, and ends up in the water…as does Shelly. Lawon goes nuts with force on his short, and also ends up in the water. Kalia ties Dominic by hitting a six, but Jordan takes the lead by hitting a three. Jeff doesn’t even try, and goes right into the water (reminiscent of throwing a comp for Jordan during his season?). Brendon also fucks up on purpose, making Jordan the HOH! Great job, noobs.

With a couple of minutes left in the show, Julie attempts to coax a Jordan-ism out of her. She delivers, thanking Jeff and Brendon for “letting me win…it’s a repeat from our season”. Porsche is asked how she feels about having the golden key, and her response is that it feels great. Julie then asks a supposed question from the viewers, and it’s to Shelly about missing her kid. I guess she has a stuffed puppy that reminds her of the family. “They’re the love of my life.” Adam is then asked who his favorite 90210 cast member is, and he does a metal roar as he screams “Donna Martin graduates!” Um, sure.

And the show is over. What did you think? Are you excited for Jordan’s HOH win? Are you going to be sick of the entire vet team? I know I am. Leave some comments on this week’s show.
